The fashion world would not be the same without the people who bring life to the clothes. We’re talking about models and we got a chance to meet the gorgeous Swati born model and creative on the move, Pearl Ngele who certainly embodies poise and passion in her craft.

“Modelling is not only about being tall and slender, but it’s also about art, fashion communication and acting. My passion is fuelled by knowing that I can be who I want to be without anyone judging me when I model. Learn to take negative criticism as a stepping stone in this industry, it only helps you become better at what you do. Remember that no one can make your dreams come true but you.” – Pearl Ngele.

Lethabo Ribombo is a style consultant at Dash Diva Boutique and a nail technician. She is passionate about beauty and fashion because she believes that the way you present yourself leaves an impression. This creative on the move reminds us that an everyday thing like dressing up can be turned into art no matter the occasion.

“I became a style consultant in February 2016 and it was never quite a calling for me but an opportunity that I embraced and came to love. The passion grew from there. What keeps me motivated to do what I do in the fashion and retail industry is knowing that people value my opinion. I have learnt that everyday has its own outfit and every occasion has its own outfit, dress accordingly but always stay true to yourself your own style. Up and coming stylists and creative in the fashion industry should keep in mind the fact that people have different personalities and personality defines look.” – Lethabo Ribombo

Is winter really the only season in which you can rock your furs? I think otherwise, what about the days when the summer day doesn’t look so bright, and the rain brings on a strong chill of wind. Furs regardless of the season are a timeless must have item in the wardrobe.

Fur has always been thought of as a luxe item. It is generally said to have been among the first materials used for clothing and bodily decoration that marked rank and status in society. It is associated with glamour and lavish spending.

It is still to this day, the ultimate item of Boujee. Fur coats are made differently from many different animal hides accompanied with a hefty price tag most of the time. Here’s a list of the most expensive kinds of fur and why.

1. Chinchilla fur – Chinchillas have a blue grey fur colour and have very thin but dense hair which is extremely fragile to work with. Chinchilla fur is one the most expensive kind of fur to date.

2. Sable fur – Sabels belong to the marten species and have a silkypelt of fur no matter which direction you rub it it in. It is one of the most expensive furs right after the chinchilla.

3. Stoat fur – Stoat fur is well known to have been worn by catholic monarchs and was deemed a highly sophisticated kind of fur, the ernime pure white stoat ranks as one of the most expensive furs.

If you’re looking for a classic fashion item that is both warm and glamorous invest in a classic fur coat. Sometimes we all want to feel a little Boujee.

Grace Mudyazhezha is a Law Student and former Artizens of Joburg ambassador. She is passionate about modelling and fashion. Her sense of style and go getter personality pushes her to create her own world where fashion and law collide.

“I do what I do because I believe in capturing moments and creating a legacy of memories. Pictures speak to me because they portray my mood and character. In my journey as a creative I’ve learnt that people lose a lot of time trying to be what they are not, at the expense of being themselves. One should never neglect what they can be. To all up and coming creatives remember to be original, bring something new to the table and don’t always follow trends.”
